Artist Draws on Used Tea Bags, Using Them as Her Diary

(By @silvirub)

You don’t necessarily need a notebook to have a diary – this artist keeps track of her life by drawing on used tea bags.

Ruby Silvious is from New York. She has specialized in using tea bags as a canvas for her miniature paintings and they truly look stunning.

“The used tea bag is not very attractive. But while you may see a soggy, stained tea bag, I see a blank canvas,” Ruby shared. “The visual diary records my impression of the moment using the used tea bag as a medium, altered to create a new work of art every day. I draw, paint and collage moody, evocative and sometimes whimsical art on the used teabag paper.”
